Hi Ralf, That's good to know. Thank you. You are very helpful. I will stay with Linux (of course). I'm just trying to find my way around as a beginner. I'm not looking to upgrade to anything right now although your background supplied on GRUB was very interesting to read and understand. I'm just looking to learn the tools that installed with the debian distro. After I master them then I will consider moving on to other tools, desktops whatever (if it ever decide). But that's way off in the future ;-) Appreciate the concern and help. Be well Wally -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
